Elvis Presley - Raised On Rock

Recorded: 1973/07/23, first released on single

(Words & Music: Mark James)

Lyrics:

I remember as a child I used to hear

Music that they played Lord with a feel'

Some call it folk, some call it soul

People let me tell you it was rock and roll

I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul

Every day when I got home I turned on my radio

Listening to the music that my idols made

I knew every single record the DJ's played

A honky tonk a Hound Dog, a Johnny B. Goode

Chain Gang, Love Is Strange, Knock On Wood

I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul

I was born to love the beat I was made for rock and roll

I thought it was a fad, thought that it would pass

But the younger generation knew it would last

Time's gone by, the beat goes on

But every time I hear it Lord it takes me home

I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul

Every day when I got home I turned on my radio

Mother played recordings of Beethoven's Fifth

Mozart's sonatas down the classical Liszt

My papa loved to listen to his country songs

While I was in the back room rockin' on

I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul

I was born to love the beat I was made for rock and roll

I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul

I was born to love the beat I was made for rock and roll

I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul

If you wanna hear Elvis "Rock" this is not the song nor the era. This sounds like a tired, lazy, and disinterested Elvis singing an incredibly corny song. Don't get me wrong...I loved some of the jumpsuit era, like American Trilogy, Suspicious Minds, Kentucky Rain, etc. But Elvis Presley in the 1950s was the Elvis that truly rocked. This is not that man. One of the greatest ever, when he was on.

This says it even better today.The prophecy of The King just continues to grow.Just in the last hour turned on WEND HD2 in Charlotte and listenend to Alternative from Paula Cole,Green Day aswell as remakes of Video killed the radio star and I fought the law, and others .Growing up in Top 40 then working progressive rock and listening to some alternative today it makes me realise that we All were Raised in Rock Like The BIG E says!
